Picking up a new mustang

[Cobra_Dusten]

I used to post here a little over a year ago
I had a 94 cobra with a forged 306 and a KB on it.

I got a lightning to replace it, and then a superduty.
Well, i stumbled upon a 4runner that i had planned to wheel. But, im now moving to cali, so the plans changed.

Its an 89 LX Convertible
Motor is out of a 93 as is the trans. Whole care has ~80,000 on it.
Mods are Edelbrock 65mm TB, bbk CAI, March underdrive pullies, mac shorties, mac 2.5" exhaust, centerforce clutch, auburn posi, 31 spline shafts, 3.73's, 6 point cage, subframe connectors, 5 lug conversion with 95 spindles and brakes, stainless brake lines, poly motor mounts, 17" bullits and i think thats it.

I plan to put a set of GT-40 heads, intake, e-cam, and 24lb injectors i have at home in it. Along with a cal'd maf. It'll be my DD down in san diego.

are notch back decklids bolt ins on the verts?

im pretty sure you can get one of a notch or take the rack off, weld the holes, and repaint

Looks very nice, as did the 4X4, get that roll cage coated

Welcome back to reality man. Just kiddin, cause that 4runner looked like it had a real nice suspension setup! Youre new vert looks nice too.

 

[90lxvert13]

I kno verts and coupes have diff hinges for the decklid, not sure if they bolt up in the same place tho.

thanks guys, i'll look into the cage. And I guess i'll have to find a wrecked fox, and check the truck lid

am i wrong to think that verts and coupes have different trunk lids?? i could be wrong, but in my mind they have slightly different body lines back there

maybe i'm a moron though

nice car by the way!

 

[Flavadave4]

Dude, that vert is cool...welcome home.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

nice vert! i'm almost positive the notch trunks will work for you. if you need a better MAF and T.B i have them for sale if intrested? P.M me. peace

[Cobra_Dusten]

thanks alot. im hoping to get some clean up done tomorrow

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

The bullit wheels look good on there.

 

[GTOreturns]

I would just go for some nerf padding for the roll bar. And there's a lot of colors to choose from. But I'm sure you already know this being a 4-wheeler.

 

[Duece Bigalow]

Nice!! That thing will be fun in San Diego!! I lived there for 3 1/2 years, there was always somethin to do car wise down there!! I'll ask my buddy what it takes to put the coupe deck lid on the vert.
